IP & IT

IP

Intellectual property is at the core of all businesses and is vital to media industries.

The growing strength of digital media able to carry content in multiple formats across traditional territorial boundaries has raised new challenges to traditional concepts and legal structures.

The IP, IT and communications team advises on:-

• intellectual property licences and assignments

• domain name registrations

• copyright

• trademark registration

• the creation of licensing templates

• assessment of potential revenue generation from a licensed territory.

Our dispute resolution and litigation team provide clear and practical advice and litigation skills to clients in all areas including copyright, passing off and false endorsement, plagiarism, trade marks, domain names, data protection and confidentiality.

We have acted for clients working in traditional and digital media in relation to contractual disputes, warranties and indemnities, territorial and cross-border rights, the term and duration of licences, European law including the European Agency Regulations, the reversion of rights under statute, joint authorship, and ditigal rights included e-books.
